MulchFest
Sunday, Jan 7 and Jan 8, 2012
10:00 am - 2:00 pm
Citywide
This isn't exactly anything to get dressed up for or even
attend as a celebration, BUT it's that annual happening
in which all are welcomed to bring their holiday trees
to a designated park within New York City. This in turn
will not only be a safe way of discarding of your tree(s)
but also a way in which to help the environment since mulch
will help nourish future plantings throughout our city.
For a list of various locales to drop your tree off at visit
the official
Department of Parks & Recreation website. (Remember,
your tree(s) must be bare of all decorations and such before
being dropped off). |
